One of a Kind

Tylor Menard 1986 (Woonsocket, RI)

Free verse
Look into my eye's,  do you see me?
Listen to my voice,  do you hear me?
Let my word's bring you warmth and comfort,
Allow them to flow with ease like a cool summer wind's...lightly caressing your heart and soul.

Stare into my eye's and see my truth,
Behind the pain, a warrior's ambition...invisible scars, hardened by a cruel existence...but my hope and my love will not be taken!

Hear me and see me, hold me and feel me,
Two hearts entwined, shining bright through the darkness.

Unexpected companions brought together by fates intervention...We'll walk together, love's formulation.

We became one...and unstoppable design,
Because when we became us...we became one of a kind ❤️

Tylor Menard

I have struggled with addiction for many years, and thought myself unworthy of love. I therefore shut myself off from even trying. Although I am in recovery now, the feelings of guilt and shame over the destruction caused by my disease grew stronger with time and threatened my sobriety. I was depressed and often thought the world would be better off without me until the most beautiful, caring and inspirational woman saw something in me and decided to say hello. That small act of kindness flourished, as did I and turned into the most beautiful love I have ever experienced. She saved my sobriety, but more importantly she saved my life. I hope if nothing else, this poem and the motivation behind it inspires someone to not give up. Because through the darkest times, there is always a light...I love you Catherine. more…
